I shall leave you as you left me, as you left her: marooned for all eternity in the center of a dead planet, buried alive. Buried alive.

Best Star Trek villain EVER. He will be missed.


Weird thing is that I watched Wrath of Khan today after I got done with classes and didn't find out he died until about an hour after I was done. Talk about coincidence, huh...

Wow.

His name just popped into my head last night for some reason. Strange coincidence.

RIP Mr. Roarke.

Hi.

RIP.

But at least he got a thread here at TB, where bass playing Star-Trek fans gather.

When Majel Barrett-Roddenberry died 18.Dec.2008, not a mention, let alone a thread. Sad.

Regards
Sam

Absolutely on all counts. Even his turn in the TV episode (Khan was a repeating character of sorts - one TV episode, the 2nd movie) was excellent.

He set the standard for ST baddies.

Good bye, Mr. Roarke.

Wow. I'm a big steaming pile of bummed about this.

I really thought Ricardo was awesome. I used to watch Fantasy Island, much as alot of you did, growing up, and then when I saw Wrath of Kahn I was completely blown away to see him 180 from his lavish persona...true unadulterated ferocity in that role, one of my favorite sci-fi movies ever. I watch it often.

I must watch it this weekend. rip Ricardo.
